Hello everybody, I have. 1995 Honda Accord Ex 2.2l Manual transmission that is starting to idle very low when im getting to a stop and the car shuts down on me out of nowhere too. The car seems to hesitate or lose power while im in high gears as well. I just recently cleaned out my throttle body, IAC valve, EGR valve and replace my radiator as well. So Im having problems on where to direct my attention too with this problem. I replaced my fuel filter about 3 years ago and fuel pump as well. Doed anyone have an idea of what can be causing this frustraring issue? Any advice will extremely appreciate. Thank you for your time.

 

To add to this.. my car also idles low, like it wants to die/turn off, when I start her up to warm her up before taking off to work, sometimes it dies before it warms up completely.

 

Make sure you do not have air packets in your cooling system.

Park the car nose up with the open radiator cap and let it idle. Add some coolant as necessary.


Good luck,
Sam

 

thanks sam. can air in the coolant cause the car to want to shut off/low idle or completely shut off?

 

I thought high idle ..sorry..keep us posted

 

intake leak would cause a higher idle

​​​​​​try unplugging the connector for the oxygen sensor after the car is warmed up and see if it still does it

it will throw a code, that's ok 'cause we're just trying to isolate

 

ok I will give that a try this weekend. When the car is warmed up and i disconnect the oxygen sensor, what should happen? And why ?

 

hey bro, so I replaced my oxygen sensor and the car is still stalling on me. When Im about to change gears, in that quick second or millasecond I take my foot off the pedal to engage the clutch and change gears, my car feels like its pulling back like a loss of power. When I get to certain stops, my car idles low still. What do you think ot can be? My buddy told me it could be the throttle postion sensor or even the entire throttle body...

 

What about the IACV? I had similar issues in my civic, cleaned the valve off and it worked out for a minute its fouled up again, and in short order. I need to replace it.
